Empty White

King Anle was unable to stay in Chang'an as he wished until his death.

The Prince of Yan, carrying the corpse of Prince Anle, the insane Princess Yan, and the distraught Prince Wu'an, left the western capital Chang'an and returned to the eastern capital Luoyang...

Prince Consort Wu participated in a rebellion and was imprisoned, and the emperor personally sentenced him.

Princess Huaiyang begged everywhere in Yongfu and Xingning districts, begged everywhere in Taiji Palace, begged everywhere in the north of Chang'an, but the princess was unsuccessful, and finally... she came to me.

"If my plea had been effective, I wouldn't be covered in wounds. If I had gained face in front of the Saint, I would have been the Witch Queen of Taiji Palace a few years ago... Princess should have asked Empress Dowager Feng, Princess Leyang, Consort Feng, Consort Xue, and Han Chongrong..."

If my plea is effective, Ru Di will not have to be exiled to Qianzhou, I told the princess with a wry smile.

The eldest princess left angrily, and I was also depressed.

After King Anle died and Princess Yan left, the saint bestowed upon me the nine gifts.

I stayed indoors every day and pretended to be depressed.

Yan Qi and Yan Lin, Luo Jiao and Luo Ran, I ignored them all when they quarreled and fought.

Even if Huayang, Anyang, and Youyu came to talk to me, I forced myself not to respond.

That day, the Empress Dowager summoned me to the palace. In front of Empress Dowager Feng, I pretended to be distraught as usual.

The Empress Dowager spoke to me, but I pretended to be in a trance and not hear anything. I just said, "Rudi wrote to me saying that there are only three people left in Qianzhou now. She is not in good health and may not live until next year. I want to go to Qianzhou to see her..."

I said Rudi, the Empress Dowager's face showed some emotion, but in the end... she still couldn't let go.

Her own son rebelled, her own nephew rebelled, Chang'an and Luoyang rebelled, time and again, draining the empress dowager's blood and family affection.

If you want to forgive Rudi, you must forgive Sanlang.

Forgive Sanlang, Chang'an will be uneasy.

Forgive Sanlang and the world will be in chaos.

If Sanlang doesn't die, Rudi can't return, and she can't return to Chang'an.

The slap from Princess Yan didn't hurt, but I couldn't take it in vain.

Finally, Empress Dowager Feng agreed and allowed me to go to Qianzhou to visit Rudi, and appointed the saint's confidant, King Guangcheng, to escort me back and forth.

It's just a visit, not a pardon.

Just visiting is enough.

I kneel down to thank my mother for her great kindness.

On the day of running away, Ah Xiang, Yuan Xiao and I went to the East Market to buy cakes and honey. I wrapped all the various cakes and candies that Chen Xiaolangjun loved to hold in his hands in oil paper and brought them to Qianzhou.

Prince Consort Wu's crime was extremely serious, and instead of waiting for the autumn to execute him, the emperor ordered him to be beheaded on that very day, right in the East Market of Chang'an.

Princess Huaiyang's cries echoed throughout the East Market. Amidst her cries, I drifted further and further away from Chang'an.

After leaving Chang'an, the King of England and the Queen were waiting outside the city gate. They had been waiting for me for a long time.

The sage was also there, and he came to personally see King Guangcheng off.

In front of the saint, in front of King Guangcheng, the King of England said nothing, and the Queen of England said little.

Shen Baodai gave me a precious sword.

It was a precious sword inlaid with gems and forged with heavy gold.

It is also a short knife that can be hidden in the sleeve, and it is also a sharp blade.

"If you meet a bad person, kill him; if you meet a thief, pierce him with a needle."

Baodai only said these sixteen words from beginning to end.

She knows what I am thinking, and I know what she is thinking.

No need to say more, everything is self-explanatory.

I took the sword and accepted it.

"Leaving Chang'an without my summons, this is the only time, never again."

The saint also said sixteen words to me.

I nodded reluctantly, put on my veil, mounted my horse, and left...

On the way to Qianzhou, Li Junming and I didn't say a word.

The more he dislikes me, the more I dislike him.

He cursed me in his heart and I cursed him in my heart.

The rumbling of carriages and the whistling of horses drowned out the silent curses between him and me.

That summer, the days passed quickly.

The women in the harem are the most useless, and the men in the harem are even more useless.

The young man of the Shen family, his mother, the eldest princess, was already preparing to arrange a marriage for him, but not even a drop of blood was born in the palace.

Useless, useless, totally useless.

I have to wait for the birth of the prince and princess, and for the emperor to grant amnesty. But who knows how long it will take. If I wait until then, how can I survive like a reed?

This time, I went to Qianzhou. Even if I had to use any means necessary, even if it meant offending the whole world, I would bring Rudi back to Chang'an...

On the day we finally arrived in Qianzhou, the Qianzhou officials received King Guangcheng. We secretly met Ru Di without telling the prince.

That day, Ru Di and I met eyes in the fields of Qianzhou.

I was exhausted and she was covered in dirt. We were both in our own mess.

She cried, first silently, then loudly.

After years of hard work, Rudi's appearance and demeanor are no longer the same as before. The mistakes she made due to her soft-heartedness and the suffering she has endured in recent years have more than paid for them.

"Is the Queen Mother well?"

"How is the Saint?"

Ru Di asked me each question in turn. I was speechless and just nodded.

She said, "In life, she is a Chang'an person, and in death, she is the soul of Chang'an."

She said, she would rather die in Chang'an than in a foreign land.

No matter how hard or difficult it was, she relied on this idea and the letters I sent her to survive the illness and poverty in Qianzhou.

Rudi's crying attracted Chang'an. When she saw Chang'an, Rudi wiped her tears and tried her best not to cry. Little Chang'an tugged at her mother's sleeve. She hid behind her mother and looked at me intently.

Xiao Chang'an, she is Rudi's daughter.

Of King Ping's children, only Chang'an was left.

Of King Ping's wives and concubines, only Ru Di was left.

There are only three nobles from Chang'an who came from Guizhou.

"Bastard!"

The unpleasant sound, the long-lost harshness, made me feel upset.

After not seeing him for several years, Sanlang is still as hateful as before!

Li Erlang of Chang'an, Li Erlang of Luoyang, and Li Sanlang of Qianzhou compete with each other, but it is Li Sanlang who I hate the most.

Rudi's crying not only attracted Xiao Chang'an, but also the criminal Sanlang who had his surname stripped away.

I squatted down and stroked little Chang'an. Looking at her face, I smiled happily. She didn't look like her father at all.

Looking at her personality, it's even more unlike her.

Fortunately, Rudi gave birth to a young lady, not a boy.

I took out the candy I bought from Chang'an East Market and gave it to the young lady. I put a veil hat on little Chang'an's head. She was so small that the veil hat could cover her completely.

I asked A Xiang to carry her somewhere else.

There are three people alive in Qianzhou, and there is another person, and this person... is naturally Li Sanlang.

All the suffering Ru Di had endured over the years was due to him.

I pray day and night that he will die in a foreign land.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go as I wished.

I stood up and looked back at Li Sanlang.

He had been farming for many years and was covered in mud and dust.

This Li Sanlang is no longer the Prince of Fu who was domineering in Chang'an City and made the sage queen of the previous dynasty breathless.

The person in front of him didn't look like a nobleman from Chang'an at all. At that moment, he was just an unknown farmer from a lower state.

My eyes were blank, and I pretended not to recognize Saburo. I looked him over carefully from head to toe, and responded with endless ridicule...

"Bastard, He Nu is dead?"

Saburo asked me loudly.

He interrupted my observation, but couldn't stop my ridicule.

"Bastard, the Queen Mother is dead?"

Sanlang asked again loudly.

"Bastard, He Nu will abdicate and let this prince return to Chang'an to be a saint?"

He was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Bastard, is it because the Queen Mother has seen clearly that He Nu is not capable of such a great responsibility and is inferior to me in every way, and she is left with no one to rely on, and now she remembers that she still has a biological son in Qianzhou?"

He is dreaming.

"Bastard, were those two in the palace sent to ask me to return to Chang'an and rule the country?"

He is wishful thinking.

King Anle sleeps in the soil of Luoyang, dreaming of being an emperor for eternity. Sanlang digs the land of Qianzhou, still dreaming of being an emperor for eternity.

The men of the Li family are obsessed with the throne, which is ridiculous.

"Four thousand four hundred and thirty-one..."

I said.

"Four thousand four hundred and thirty-two..."

I said.

"Four thousand four hundred and thirty-three..."

I say.

"Four thousand four hundred and thirty-four..."

I said.

"Four thousand four hundred and thirty-five..."

I'll tell you.

"Four thousand four hundred and thirty-six..."

I count.

Bastard, this is how many times Sanlang has called me that since I was a child. I remember every single call, every single time, over and over again.

As soon as I count, he understands immediately. As soon as I tell the number, he knows immediately.

"Bastard, bastard, bastard!"

He cursed loudly.

"Raccoon slave, you... are nothing but a wild bastard..."

Sanlang pointed at me and laughed and cursed loudly.

He knows that I care, but he also knows that I pretend not to care. I know that he knows that I care, but I also know that he knows that I pretend not to care.

I came to Qianzhou from afar, not only for Rudi, to be honest, I... it was all for myself!
